Host Hattie

It's good to hear you made it on board, thanks for posting and have a great trip.

Looks like today is going to be a difficult day in Brooklyn. Good luck everyone, I hope your luggage is OK @bitob.

It sounds like the rain is causing problems, good luck and stay safe.

Hope it brightens up for sailaway

Brolly in the UK

Bon Voyage

There are pictures of Daily Programmes from Queen Elizabeth's Alaska season this year in this thread which will give you some ideas.

A rare sunrise from me, arriving in Valencia 28th September 2022

My pleasure, the photo was taken by a friend onboard an MSC ship in Livorno today.

Queen Elizabeth is in Livorno today

There's also the ease of embarkation, reports from Brooklyn have not always been positive.

I've been to Tangier on Queen Victoria, November 2015.

Have a great time, I look forward to your reports.

Thank you for confirming that your original post was wrong, as @exlondoner has said you are probably still wrong about bread on most Cunard cruises. Queen Elizabeth has been away from the UK for a while now so they might be using flour from America there.

I have moved your question to a new thread where you will get more answers. If you have the time I would sail both ways but others may have more practical suggestions!

Thank you @DaisyUK, it's lovely to hear that she's still at sea, she helped make our first cruise very special. I hope you've had a great time.

Have a great time, I look forward to hearing about it

I think this was the answer, they are all mediocre.

How terrible, I hope you complained.🤣

It is an opinion but it's being posted as if it's a fact and with no detail about why it's mediocre and from one poster who later posted that all cruise line food is mediocre. You can understand the frustration of those who have enjoyed the food on Cunard.

Nobody said it was fresh, they questioned your accusation that it was South African.

Thanks for clarifying, I'm not sure why other people's opinions should annoy you. Eating ashore isn't really an option on a Transatlantic crossing.
